"Sacred 13 may be one of the best hardrock/metal bands to come out of their generation! They will accept nothing less than being legends of their time and they undeniably have the skill and creativity to pull it off. With their unique sound of blending the power and energy of classic metal with the blazing, yet crisp sound of new metal, they have created a sound that is powerful & energetic, yet melodic & focused. Their blistering grooves, shredding guitars, and powerful vocals blend a sound that is addictive and is sure to leave the listener wanting more! They continue to move forward; growing and expanding their following with the drive to become successful. They also feel that their live show is their biggest asset in the constant growth of their fanbase.
They have toured from NYC to San Francisco; performing at many different festivals in cities such as Nashville TN, NYC, San Fransisco, Cleveland, Columbus, etc... They've also played with many national acts including Alice Cooper (at the legendary Warner Theatre in ERIE PA), Bobaflex, Symphony X, Kings X, Bad Company, Local H, Steven Pearcy (of RATT) Ventana (feat. Stitch from MUSHROOMHEAD), The Godz, Britny Fox, Joe Bonamassa, Joe Stump, Psychostick, STEMM, and many more... They have won numerous awards including Best New Artist, Best Teen Band, Best Video 2004, etc... And, they have also appeared on a few TV shows as well, including CATTV's City Music.
The lead guitarist/vocalist (Josh), was a top ten finalist worldwide in Guitar Player Magazine's Guitar Hero competition judged by Joe Satriani, Steve Lukather, Richy Cotzen and more at the age of 15!!! As S13, they have released two albums; both of which can be purchased at any Sacred 13 concert OR online through worldwide stores such as itunes, amazon, rhapsody, napster, etc... Sacred 13 is a band that has overcome a large amount of adversity, and several road blocks along the way. They stuck it out during many line-up/management changes as well. They feel that they are stronger now than ever before because of these experiences, and show no signs of stopping in the future. They started out with a goal to conquer the world, and step-by-step, they will do so..."
